Male pattern baldness is a male/masculine trait. Working against that is not gender affirming.

It's a sign of too much testosterone being converted to dht and having genes that sensitize the hair on your head to it so that they fall out, which primarily happens with age and stress.
He wants to look like a young virile male rather than looking like he swallowed a couch cushion.
Gender affirming care.

That's just a very vain middle-aged man that doesn't do any sports desperately sucking in his sizable gut.
He's shaped like a cybertruck...

I don't have male pattern baldness, but is hair thinning a masculine trait? Just kidding, I couldn't give less of a shit what people consider makes me masculine. I'm a man as far as I'm concerned.

Did his jawline really change from the images left and right or are they just taken from different angles?
Yea, this one's a stretch. My jawline continued to change in my 30s, and just 10lbs weight difference made a big shift in my face.
I am a Rocket League addict. I hate that my once indie game is owned by a major public company that exploits us. Anyway, they just added the cybertruck to the game, and I frequently find myself playing against an all cybertruck team with nothing but cybertruck teammates to help me. And every time I see it, I can't help but feel like it's the anti-rainbow flag. Gay Pride month is over, now it's Trans Hate month; gotta cover all the bases.
Rocket league added a rainbow flag but then "accidently" removed it to where you needed to submit a support ticket to get it back. Lot of homophobic folks will react if you have it on your car. We must stunt on those fools.

I get what everyone is saying, but if we're being totally honest their issue is with gender affirming care is when it's used for the opposite gender they want to force you to maintain.
Male affirm male ok. Female affirm female ok. Male affirm female... AHHHHHHH!!!! BE AFRAID!!!!
Either way we're all correct in calling them assholes that should stay the fuck out of our pursuit of happiness.
Ah, but you see, a man who wants to live as a woman is delusional. A weak, low-T beta male who wants to live as an alpha is
...no, I still can't figure out how they square that with themselves

I've never seen Elon present his long form birth certificate for the State of Texas to review, before beginning these treatments

Idk. I feel like balding is more gender-affirming for a man.
I started balding at 24.
I hate it, but over the counter stuff hasn’t worked, and I can’t justify spending a lot of money on hair plugs just to make me feel better.
My wedding is this month, after that I’m just going full Mr clean.
I’m going to miss my hair.
Fellow baldy here. I put it off for so long, but going full-shave is great. I was so nervous about doing it but now I regret not doing it 10 years sooner!

He also has this thing about having lots of children to ensure the future of the human race. Dude, you know how you hated the way you looked? The surgeries aren't in your DNA. You're not part of a master race. (except he probably still thinks so because he's white cause he's a nazi shithead)

Poor Elon doesn't just understand what it's like to not be comfortable with your body without extensive medical treatments.
You've applied the "good guy with a gun" fallacy to gender affirming care.
I appreciate this.
Question: Can supplemental testosterone cause anger management issues and/or accelerated cognitive decline?
Anger management, yeah. Hence the "roid rage" stereotype.
Cognitive decline, I don't think there's any evidence.

The only good gender affirming healthcare is my gender affirming healthcare.
The guy on the right definitely looks like he has enough testosterone. Sure it’s not the effects of testosterone that 16 year olds and pre transition trans men dream of excitedly, but speaking as a trans woman, that’s the effects I dreaded. He looks like if Jason Alexander wasn’t handsome. Nobody can deny that Jason Alexander looks masculine as fuck.
Did he really get jawline surgery? I thought it was just because of him abusing steroids and testosterone. That’s why he has that weird barrel chest nowadays.

Bioessensialism for thee but not for me. (Fuck you, got mine basically.)
Everyone should post this to his Twitter
Hey hey hey.
Don't be saying "Twitter."
It's Shitter.
But yes, very much agreed.

Plastic surgery.
What are you saying, that plastic surgery is gender affirming care, because it is in most cases. Exemptions would be things like a rhinoplasty for breathing impairments, but if done for looks it would fall under gender affirming care.
Where's the line between vanity and "self-affirmation"? Not a leading question.
Gender is defined by a cultural perception, so all attractiveness would be encompassed within the cultural perception. So a lady who gets her breasts augmented wouldn't essentially matter whether it is to self affirm or vanity or to attract others, it would all just fall into what culture taught that person was appealing.
I'm sure there are many that would pick my wording apart or disagree, but maybe that answers some of your question? Self affirmation and vanity I would say are not mutually exclusive though, there is overlap.
